·The aromas draw you in with an enticing perfume of red
strawberries and cherries, spice, red hots and the slightest hint of oak.
Impressive richness for a 2007 vintage Oregon Pinot Noir but still
discreetly concentrated. Highly nuanced flavor profile with the focus on
red cherry and berry fruit accented by citrus, herbal, mineral and earth
notes. The fruit is still a bit reticent showing increasing leg with time in the glass.
Soft in the mouth with dusty tannins, a lively spark of acidity and a dry finish.
Impeccable balance and impressive vibrancy. This is a dependable wine that is
consistently fine with a track record of age ability, regardless of the vagaries of
vintage.Reviewed November 29, 2009
